11 IINNTTRROODDUUCCTTIIOONN11..11PPrroojjeeccttBBrriieeffThe pre-feasibility study focuses on the establishment of women designer wearBoutique including the operations of apparel designing, manufacturing, selling andmarketing. The study has been designed to capture the dynamics of the Boutique
industry, with its many components and possible strategic opportunities.
11..22OOppppoorrttuunniittyyRRaattiioonnaalleeClothing is a beautiful visual demonstration of the social and emotional needs ofpeople wearing it. It also portrays in a clearly understood visual manner, what people
of different cultures and styles want socially. Fashion, through times, has gone
through so many rapid changes and bizarre extremes that it has examples of nearly
every kind of clothing function.However, in a boutique business, the specifications and descriptions of the designs
and clothes are so general that they can fit more than one costume, which actually
are quite different in nature from each other and this is solely dependent on the tasteof the people.
The range of Pakistani dresses is remarkably wide, according to the vast cultures,
geographical differences, purchasing capacities, influence of the western culture, and
bewildering diversities of the ethnic groups. One has, therefore, to sift and isolate,and then relate and bring together, the ideas for creating various designs, which can
fit in the context of the fashion in vogue and the culture in practice.
In reference to Pakistan, the Boutique business is quite in vogue but has yet to beformalized. The market of this enterprise is quite scattered and unorganized. Thereare a few major players in Boutique business and these entrepreneurs have also taken
an initiative based on their caprice and experience in the field of fashion design.
However, there is a massive potential in this field, if one has the ability to design andmarket his/her products through introducing innovative designs both in stitching as
well as the fabric sector.
Furthermore, there is massive export potential in this sector, as the demand of
Pakistani dresses, especially in countries like UAE, USA, and UK, is massive due toa high number of Pakistani expatriates who have settled in these countries. The
Boutique business can also be expanded into a more profitable venture by providing
stitching facilities to other boutiques, which do not own a stitching unit or arelacking this facility.
11..33PPrrooppoosseeddCCaappaacciittyyThe Boutique business capacity is greatly dependent on the market size and the
number of potential clientele one can attract. Furthermore, the women fashion wear

garments will be designed through a contracted designer and then stitched through
in-house stitching unit. On average, a designer can supply forty designs per month
from which nearly twenty designs are selected on average. Approximately, totalcapacity of the defined unit with 5 stitching machines (basis on 8-10 hours shift) will
be about 5001dresses. The breakup of the total number of dresses will be as follows:
Total designs selected by designer 20Number of dresses in each design 5
Number of dresses in each size 5
Total Number of dresses 500
This production and sales capacity is estimated to be economically viable and
justifies the capital as well as operational costs of the project.
11..44TToottaallPPrroojjeeccttCCoossttThe Boutique shop needs a total investment of about Rs. 1.45 million. This includes
a capital investment of Rs.881,920 and a sum of Rs.569,600 as working capital.
22 CCUURRRREENNTTIINNDDUUSSTTRRYYSSTTRRUUCCTTUURREECurrently, the boutique industry is relatively unorganized and is scattered in andaround the posh areas of the metropolitan cities of Pakistan i.e. Lahore, Islamabad,
Karachi, Peshawar, and Quetta. The boutiques in Peshawar and Quetta, mostly sell
the traditional dresses having indigenous/local designs, whereas the ones in Lahore,Islamabad, and Karachi deal in fashion wear greatly influenced by the west and the
local trends in vogue. As such, there is no exact detail available of the number of
boutiques, especially in women wear, because there is no association or link between
these enterprises. The reason being the business rivalries and the competitivestructure of this industry. However, one can name a few major players in the
business such as Indifference, Generation, Parahan, Nee Punhal, Bossini, KapreWaghera, Maria B, Ninas, and some individual designer players like Beegees,Nilofar Shahid, Nadia Mistri, Amir Adnan, Shayan Malik, and Sahar Saigol.
33 MMAARRKKEETTIINNGGThe marketing of boutique follows the conventional marketing pattern which is
dependent on selection of venue of the outlet/s and the product mix (designs and
sizes), as well as the promotional strategy. Furthermore, the boutique owner has tomarketing techniques like:
Usage of print media i.e. printing of posters and pamphlets as well as displayingit and distributing it at proper places
Advertisement in print media i.e. newspapers and fashion magazines, etc.
1 This production also includes additional suits that will be prepared on orders/outsourcing/CMT
(Cutting, Manufacturing and Trimming) per month in order to utilize the maximum capacity of the
stitching unit.

Usage of electronic media i.e. projection of the boutique in fashion programs,advertisement on television, and provision of dresses to various television plays
and films.
Event arrangement like fashion shows and photo-shoots. Usage of e-commerce i.e. launching of website and advertising on web.Moreover, in order to keep abreast with the emerging trends and client tastes,surveys regarding customer satisfaction/needs should be a regular feature of this
project.
As this project of Boutique deals in designer women wear, therefore the product mixwill comprise of different styles of the female dresses in different sizes. Whereas, the
styles will be Shalwar Kameez, Q-lots, Pajama Kameez, Frocks, Kurta, Peeshwaz,
Party dresses, Casual Dresses and other prevalent dresses based on the markettrends. The average sale price per dress is assumed to be Rs.2,100.
Apart from this, there is a vast export potential in this industry, which is evident
from the export figures of 1998-99 (available from the data of Federal Bureau of
Statistics-FBS).SITC

Even these figures represent the formal export patterns of women dresses from
Pakistan and are not representative of the export of these dresses taking place on
informal level. Most of the women dresses prepared in Pakistan are exported toUSA, UK, Germany, UAE, Saudi Arabia, France, Belgium, Netherlands, and South
Africa.
The end users of these dresses in foreign countries are mostly Pakistani and Indian
women who have immigrated to these countries.

55..11PPrroodduuccttiioonnPPrroocceessssFFlloowwThe process for converting fabric in designer wear garments follows the below
mentioned sequence:
Design: The initial process starts from the designing phase. Various patterns ofclothing and the fashions in vogue, which also relate to the tastes of the
concerned clientele, are designed. This is done by the contracted designer as
he/she will provide the basic designs of which the fabric will be converted intothe designer wear garment. On average, a designer is supposed to provide 40
designs per month or 100-120 designs per season i.e. three months. From thesedesigns, approximately 50% of the designs are selected for further developmentof clothes.
Pattern Making/Cutting: Based on the designs selected, patterns for cutting aredeveloped and based on these patterns, fabric is cut, embroided, block printed,
and processed accordingly3.
Stitching: The cutting is then followed by stitching, which can either be done bythe in-house stitching unit or by outsourcing it
4. Labels are also attached to the
apparels in this process.
Finishing: The final phase is that of finishing, in which the garment will bechecked for quality control and will cleaned (if required) for final presentation at
the outlet. The garments will also be tagged for identification of sizes, prices,addresses, handling instructions, etc.
3After cutting, the fabric is embroided and this is normally outsourced to any locally available
commercial embroidery unit.4In case of over-lock stitching, it will be done in-house. The stitching of buttonholes as well as elastic
embedding will be outsourced. This will cost approximately @Rs.5 per dress.

1100KKEEYYSSUUCCCCEESSSSFFAACCTTOORRSSThere are a number of factors, which contribute towards the success of a project. In
case of the project of Boutique, some of the Key Success Factors are as follows:
Proper care while producing dresses should be adopted Proper Inventory management i.e. keeping minimum inventory as per past sales
trends.
The dress designs should be according to the emerging trends and fashions. Designing of dresses according to the consumer tastes/preferences gathered
through consumer surveys.
The location of the outlet should be properly selected and attractively decoratedso as to target the clientele effectively.
The customer satisfaction should be given due importance, because it is thecustomer satisfaction, which can increase the sales. Hence, excellent customer
service should be provided.
1111TTHHRREEAATTSSFFOORRTTHHEEBBUUSSIINNEESSSS Competitive Structure of the marketThe market of the boutiques is highly competitive, therefore if the entrepreneur isnot well responsive to the tastes and response of the clientele as well as the fashions
in vogue he/she may not be able to capitalize the opportunity properly.
Pilferage in the designsThe designs which a designer produce can be sold by the staff even before that
design is launched and that can pose serious threat to the business because in the
fashion industry it is the uniqueness of the design which matters.
Selection of the wrong venueSelection of the wrong venue can be a major hurdle in achieving the desired businessobjectives.
Selection of the wrong designIf the designs are not selected according to the tastes of the clientele then it can bedetrimental for the business, so the clientele taste should be properly tracked.
TaxImproper documentation of the sales receipt record may lead to problems with Tax
department.
